Twitter trends. Every morning there's a new celebrity name and you have to guess between Dead, Massive Racist or Nonce. Occasionally for a breather it's something different, like Nigel Havers having a suitably posh drawing room on Zoom.

Both cut-and-dried cases of Driving Whilst Black. The police have that arsey defensive tone and aggressively circuitous logic about them in these situations because they actually believe that racial profiling is just fine and dandy and are really pissed off at having to pretend they don't do it.

Anyone who asserts that the Conservatives want to fundamentally change the basis of the NHS or restrict what it does really ought to provide some evidence rather than vague assertions. Vague assertions that don't bear any relation to reality are what is wrong with politics, and get found out eventu...

Which tells us that he has the tools to be successful. But at what? This is the point, of course. I'm sure none of us have forgotten that about ten years ago we had a mahoosive and somewhat bitter row about what the organisation is for, and those of us who thought it should act in its members' inte...

Speaking of which, how is Volcano faring in these circumstances, TRR? I can see you're doing quite a bit online, but are you going to survive? Pretty well for now, thanks, John - the little-appreciated upside of never making a profit even when things are good. We're part of what these days is calle...
